I miss getting to know people on SG. Since joining, most of my real life friends were met through SG, half of those SGs. These are people that have become my family. It doesn't seem that people post much of what they are up to, more in depth thoughts. Myself included. I used to, but then people stopped reading or paying attention. Kind of... Read More

You know what I miss? Those early days in Texas, when I didn't know how much hate there was in the world.

Whenever I hear Jerry Jeff Walker I think of those more idyllic days of ignorance. London Homesick Blues, Night Rider's Lament, LA Freeway, those especially make me think of those days. There are, as always, more colorful songs which I don... Read More

I know this is especially hypocritical this year as we are terrorizing Natives who are just trying to protect their land from the federal government once again trying to steal it, but I will still be celebrating it in the spirit of hope and peace.

Long weekend. Lots of people visiting, lots of cooking, messes in the kitchen, no downtime....AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

It was a tad bit stressful, and the messes were getting to me. I can only control one space, and that's the house, and man was I thrown for a loop. It was good to see the people, but just...too much at one time. Today I am... Read More

Migraine departed last night, so I got to sleep pretty well. Today I have the migraine hangover where everything feels a little too bright, I flinch at loud noises (expecting pain) and I'm moving really slowly both physically and mentally. Getting stuff done around the house, but having to really put a lot of energy into motivating myself to do these things. Just want... Read More

Oh gods. Yet another person that I know has decided to be joyous in Trumpery winning. What a nightmare. I've asked this young, white female to meet with me for coffee to discuss, as she said that she was sure I could never understand why she voted this way. Yes, I'm sure I can. She is white and privileged. She is young so... Read More

Not much sleep at all last night, so I have been shedding some very productive thoughts today for simpler, and more attainable items on the old to-do list.

I am putting thought toward airbrushing. Some very excellent people gave me a modeler's airbrush kit, but I really don't know what to do with it. I mean, I know how the airbrush works, but... Read More

Stop hating, stop destroying, stop tearing other people down. The only reason to do this is to make yourself feel better about...yourself.

Instead, try loving, understanding, building. Improve yourself. Challenge yourself. Be better. Do not let others tell you that you have to hate others. Do not stereotype groups, judge them... Read More
